<0505>

that he might bring

<04467>

<07725> (8687)

But the word
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>
came to Shemaiah
<08098>

Speak
<0559> (8798)
unto Rehoboam
<07346>
the son
<01121>

<03068>_,
Ye shall not go up
<05927> (8799)_,
nor fight
<03898> (8735)
against your brethren
<0251>_:
return
<07725> (8798)
every man
<0376>
to his house
<01004>_:
for this thing
<01697>
is done
<01961> (8738)
of me. And they obeyed
<08085> (8799)

<03068>_,
and returned
<07725> (8799)

<02275>_,
which [are] in Judah
<03063>
and in Benjamin
<01144>
fenced
<04694>
cities
<05892>_.
11:11
And he fortified
<02388> (8762)
the strong holds
<04694>_,
and put
<05414> (8799)

and the Levites
<03881>
that [were] in all Israel
<03478>
resorted
<03320> (8694)

For the Levites
<03881>
left
<05800> (8804)

and their possession
<0272>_,
and came
<03212> (8799)
to Judah
<03063>
and Jerusalem
<03389>_:
for Jeroboam
<03379>
and his sons
<01121>
had cast them off
<02186> (8689)
from executing the priest's office
<03547> (8763)
unto the LORD
<03068>_:
11:15
And he ordained
<05975> (8686)
him priests
<03548>

<01116>_,
and for the devils
